Chapter 66 Things are different now
……
No sleep for one night.
It was not until the early morning of the next day that Ji Chen woke up from his cultivation.
He slowly opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
"It's worthy of being a secret method. It's really extraordinary!"
After muttering to himself, Ji Chen let out a long breath.
He successfully mastered the Taixuan Sutra and found the entry point, but if he wanted to use it in battle, he still needed some time of repeated practice.
Once this secret method is used, a person's cultivation level can increase dramatically instantly.
With Ji Chen's current strength of the sixth level of the Condensation Vein Realm, if he activates the Taixuan Sutra, his cultivation will be directly promoted to the seventh level of the Condensation Vein Realm, or even the eighth level!
This is a secret technique that can stimulate human potential.
However, the sudden increase in cultivation will also bring considerable side effects and backlash to the body.
It is no wonder that for many years, the Ji family has always said that only people above the Spiritual Transformation Realm can practice the Taixuan Sutra.
Most cultivators at the Condensed Veins Realm simply cannot withstand such side effects. At the very least, their tendons and veins will be broken, and at the worst, they may die on the spot.
But Ji Chen is different. He possesses a divine body and is fully capable of withstanding the backlash of such powerful force!
Han Mu came and, as usual, practiced sword fighting with Ji Chen.
He has made tremendous progress over this period of time. His cultivation has successfully entered the ninth level of the Vein Condensation Realm, and he is only one step away from the Spirit Transformation Realm.
In addition, with Ji Chen's sparring partner, his swordsmanship also improved rapidly, and was much more advanced than before.
Even though he was only at the peak of the ninth level of the Condensing Veins Realm, Han Mu, with his superb swordsmanship, could barely contend with ordinary masters at the first level of the Spirit Transformation Realm for a short period of time.
And all this, in Han Mu's view, was thanks to Ji Chen!
During this period, Hua Tian never stopped looking for trouble with Ji Chen.
Every few days, someone would come and challenge Ji Chen to a fight.
Without exception, these people were bribed by Hua Tian and acted extremely ruthlessly.
Moreover, their cultivation base is extraordinary, they are all masters on the Hidden Dragon List, and the strongest one has even reached the first level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, ranking 26th on the Hidden Dragon List!
Unfortunately, this person was also defeated by Ji Chen and was severely injured and bedridden. It will take less than a month for him to be able to walk.
And it is precisely because of this that Ji Chen has already become truly famous and has become a top-notch master in the entire inner sect, ranking 26th on the Hidden Dragon List.
"Hua Tian, this useless guy, has not been able to take down Ji Chen yet?"
That night, in the Ji family, Ji Wushuang was furious. Looking at the letter in his hand that was sent by Hua Tian, his eyes were full of anger.
Before this, he was the one who sent someone to deliver a letter to Hua Tian, wanting him to deal with Ji Chen. It would be best if he could destroy Ji Chen's cultivation to prevent the other party from rising in the future, which would be a huge hidden danger.
"Master Wushuang, please rest assured. Senior Brother Huatian said that he will take action personally."
In front of Ji Wushuang, there stood a man in black, with his face covered by a black robe. It was Yan Zhe, who was responsible for delivering the letter to the Ji family.
During this period, Hua Tian repeatedly found people to deal with Ji Chen, but without exception, they all failed and were unable to pose any threat to Ji Chen.
"It should have been like this from the beginning. Why are you still looking for someone? You've wasted hundreds of thousands of my spirit stones!" Ji Wushuang snorted coldly.
During this period, he colluded with Hua Tian and spent a huge amount of money. These spirit stones were all secretly obtained by him from the Ji family over the years, and now there are only a few left.
But he still failed to capture Ji Chen. Naturally, he was unwilling to give in and felt that Hua Tian was simply wasting his time. With Hua Tian's cultivation level, he could definitely capture Ji Chen if he took direct action. Why bother looking for other people?
"There was a reason why Senior Brother Hua Tian did not personally take action before. After all, although the sect does not oppose the fighting between disciples, they cannot take action too much, otherwise they will be punished. Senior Brother Hua Tian does not want to get into trouble."
"Besides, Ji Chen has extraordinary talent and the Yuhua Sect is very concerned about him. If he gets hurt in any way, the consequences will not be something that Senior Brother Hua Tian can bear." Yan Zhe said.
"What now? He's going to take action himself? What's he going to do?"
Ji Wushuang snorted coldly, took a deep breath, and tried his best to calm his anger.
"Soon, the Yehuang Ruins will be opened. We have learned that Ji Chen will definitely go there, and Senior Brother Hua Tian will naturally not miss it."
"Anything can happen in the ancient ruins, including Ji Chen's death. By then, even if the sect investigates, it will be difficult to find evidence."
"Yehuang Ancient Ruins..."
Hearing this, Ji Wushuang couldn't help but narrow his eyes, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
……
In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.
Today, Ji Chen has completely mastered the Ji family's Taixuan Sutra.
Not only that, his cultivation has improved greatly during this period of time. With the help of the inner sect's Xuanling Tower, Ji Chen has absorbed nearly 40,000 spirit stones in total.
Up to now, his strength has advanced from the sixth level of the Condensing Veins Realm to the ninth level in one fell swoop!
It's just one step away from the spiritual transformation realm!
All of this is due to his divine body, which allows him to absorb spirit stones ten times faster than ordinary people!
This includes the connection between him and Yidan Pavilion. The previous auction of a Qinghuo Pill allowed him to get as much as 700,000 spirit stones. Therefore, he was able to maintain such consumption and absorption.
If it were an ordinary person, let alone 40,000 spirit stones, an average inner disciple of the Yuhua Sect could only receive 100 spirit stones per month. How could they have so many spirit stones to use?
The most important thing is that even if they really have so many spirit stones, they cannot absorb so much without a divine body!
As early as half a month ago, Han Mu successfully broke through to the first level of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
His strength increased greatly as a result. He was at the ninth level of the Vein Condensation Realm and the first level of the Spirit Transformation Realm, which sounded like only a small realm difference.
But in fact, once a breakthrough is achieved, it means that transformation will be achieved.
After reaching such a realm, the gap between each small realm is much greater than when reaching the Vein Condensation Realm.
Ji Chen once defeated an expert at the sixth level with his cultivation at the first level of the Condensing Veins Realm.
He was able to do this because he possessed many trump cards and means.
But if one breaks through the first level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, and wants to rely on these trump cards and means to defeat a master of the sixth level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, it is simply impossible.
Because after reaching the Spiritual Transformation Realm, every upgrade in a small realm will increase the combat power by several levels.
The Yehuang Ruins are about to open.
The ancient ruins are far away from the Yuhua Sect, so it is necessary to set off a few days in advance.
This day, early in the morning.
Many people gathered in a huge square at the inner gate. Not only the inner gate disciples, but also many people from the outer gate came.
Because today is the day of departure, everyone wants to see off those who are going to participate in the Yehuang Ancient Ruins.
Ji Chen was wearing a clean white robe and walking alone. Now, he was ranked 26th on the Inner Sect Hidden Dragon List. As soon as he appeared, he attracted the attention of many people present.
"His aura is so much stronger than before. I wonder to what extent it has improved?"
Somewhere in the crowd, a young woman was also paying attention to Ji Chen.
It was Su Wanyue. In the previous outer sect competition, she had lost to Ji Chen.
During the time she entered the inner sect, Su Wanyue practiced diligently, and now she is a completely different person than before. From the peak of the sixth level of the Condensing Veins Realm, she has reached the eighth level of the Condensing Veins Realm in one fell swoop.
But she knew clearly that Ji Chen today was truly someone who should not be underestimated.
The opponent had defeated a master of the first level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, and thus was ranked 26th on the Hidden Dragon List!
"This guy... when he was young, he was clearly a useless person who was difficult to cultivate, but now he has become such a dazzling genius."
In another direction of the crowd, Liu Ruyan's beautiful eyes were also looking at Ji Chen.
In the past, this boy who was beaten black and blue by her for protecting his sister has now reached a level that she dare not underestimate.
"Sister Yanran, it's Ji Chen!"
Ji Xueruo was also here. She spotted Ji Chen and spoke with a smile.
Beside her, Ji Yanran was wearing a purple long dress today, looking charming and with a mature beauty.
She also looked over and glanced at Ji Chen, speechless for a moment.
